    FlexJet / Flight Options / SkyJet

    If the union has any chance of getting any support from flex they need to start talking to the flex pilots. It's going to be really really hard for you to get any support and votes from the flex side. KR is pushing hard for a single carrier ruling because he is confident the union will be voted...

    Anyone else notice the two spirited posts on on BB rumor thread that mysteriously disappeared last week? I wonder if they were told ot take them down

    Challenger & Global Order. New planes for who?

    It certainly looks to me like the beans are spilled already

    Amen to that. We need to get a union before we either layoff more or are sold to Netjets

    Challenger & Global Order. New planes for who?

    From a bombardier press release: ******* http://www.bombardier.com/en/corporate/investor-relations/press-releases/details?docID=0901260d80158f0a "January 27, 2011 — Montréal Aerospace Bombardier Aerospace today announced it has received firm orders from an undisclosed customer for two...

    1 - They said during their yearly Flt Ops presentation back in May that they are doing away with the CAFOs once upgrades begin. However, I imagine that there may be more downgrades, and thus those downgraded would be CAFOs 2 - Sounds good to me. This is how every other fractional does it 3 -...

    ah, so once again the "you knew the rules when you were hired so you should never expect a improvement ever" excuse. How can someone really know that they will be asked to drive three hours and then start a 16 hour duty day? I don't recall that being listed in any fine print on the job...

    no disrespect intended but this argument really bothers me. It is such a close minded way of thinking. So we should never expect a raise or any improvements just because we agreed to whatever the hell it was a decade ago when we got hired? In this business its not like we can just move to...

    Flexjet Union Drive

    I've noticed that the signups on the IBT board has increased quite a bit recenty, maybe by 30-40 over the past couple months. I'm not sure if we have an official organizational committee at the moment though. I do know of people sending in cards so I hope there is someone there on the other...

    Flexjet Union Drive

    The main IBT site is: http://ibt1108.org/ The Flexjet Message boards are at: http://forum3.ibt1108.org/ The authorization card is here: http://ibt1108.org/Docs/Pilot_Authorization_Card.pdf Cards are only good for a year, so even if you have sent one in before you need to do so again. Print...

    Let the speculation begin at Flexjet...

    japhy, did you listen to the most recent meeting? FR more or less implied that the pilot group was getting a raise. he sort of told teh rest of the company why it would happen. Maybe they feel they need to do it to stop the union drive. They seem to throw something at us each time a union...

    FlexJet - Time for a Union

    Teamsters is probably the way to go to get started. We would always have the option of going in house like Netjets down the road. We should all send in our cards again: http://ibt1108.org/ Lets get this going!! Again!!!1

    FlexJet - Time for a Union

    Well this is a first, not one anti-union post from anyone at flex. maybe this is the right time? so then the next question is, now what?

    FlexJet - Time for a Union

    We should have done it a year ago but oh well. I bet those who got let go wished we had one. They got some wishy washy recall rights and the rest of us get no merit raises and a bunch are getting downgraded, and many are forced to work less than they want/need to. Whats next? And dont forget...

    Flex furloughs again

    Gee what a surprise, the pilot group is taking the brunt of the cuts here. but I cant help but sit back and laugh at everyone complaining. We had our chance for a union and barely anyone stepped up. They can do whatever they want to us because they know we are not going to quit. If they cut...

    Flex furloughs again

    Times like this is when we need a union. not to prevent layoffs, but to have real recall rights. And its our own fault for not doing it

    Citationshares lets 30 go

    Well so far we have layoffs at Flight Options, XOjet, and Citations Shares. Coming in January: Flexjet. How about NJ? I wonder if they will make it though without any

    Why no bases at Flex?

    Yeah some people were definitely blinded by the pay raise. but we still lag way behind in QOL issues. I would agree that I the teamsters may not be right for us, and an in house union is a better idea. It works for SWA, why not us too? Plus a lot of the naysayers were against "giving money...

    yeah you're right. sorry. just desperate i guess
